, mitt romney also had mandated health insurance in massachusetts. now, romney says that was a state thing, this is a federal thing, the federal government can't do this because of the constitution, et cetera, but i think it's kind of a mixed bag for the president because what they have to do is sell the good points, the points about this law that so many people like and downplay the downside of this and obviously the supreme court decision will play into that. >> how interesting do you find it that president obama is in south korea this week for the nuclear summit while these hearings are taking place? >> well, it is interesting, but i will tell you we have david plouffe, the senior adviser on the show today, so they are out there talking about it. there had been some criticism that here is the two-year anniversary of this law being enacted and the white house is doing nothing about it. certainly they didn't have any grand ceremony to mark it. the republicans this week were all over it because they think it's a very good issue for them, but it is tr

romney do you have a comment on rush limbaugh's comments on contraception, sir? >> perhaps he didn't hear it. later he said, quote, it's not the language i would have used, unquote. >>> more on the raw politics and its impact on the gop. ari, is it appropriate to ask gop candidates about rush limbaugh's comments? a lot of folks say, look, rush limbaugh is just an entertainer, but others say, look, he has a role in the republican party. >> well, look, you know, they are not -- they are not radio people themselves that are running for president, so yes, it's appropriate to ask them. i don't think it's the be all and end all of their campaigns. what russ said was reprehensible. it's insulting. he didn't need to say it, he shouldn't have said it. he should apologize for it. but this has been a strange week, anderson. hud the huffington post had somebody prublished who liken hd catholic mass to a barbaric ritual. that was larry doyle writing in the huffington post. you know, there's all kinds of sideshows in politics. i don't remember the democrats getting asked to ap

the president has a double-digit lead over mitt romney and rick santorum. the president's approval rating topping 50% for the first time since last may. so does the health care law, if it's defeated or not defeated, what does it do to the president? james carville joins us and john avalon. i've seen you listening to jeff toobin with that devilish smile on your face. if the law gets struck down, you think it would be great? >> first of all, you've got to give it toobs, he's worried about 30 million people without insurance instead of insurance companies. how quaint. if they overturn it 5-4, i think it would be the best thing that ever happened to the democratic party. people will say the health care costs are going up and they'll say we tried, five people overturned an election, overturned this. bush v. gore bring you this and i think we'll have an issue to go for a long, long time. i'm fine with it. overturn it 5-4. let the hacks have their day. >> john, you disagree? >> yeah, you've got to search pretty hard for a silver lining to come up with a scenario w

mitt romney is pretty far ahead, 429 delegates. way ahead of rick santorum, newt gingrich, or ron paul. 1144, that's the amount needed. so everybody is still a long way away. the romney campaign suggesting to the other guys, hey, you really don't have a mathematical chance of clinching the nomination. maybe you guys should drop out. the santorum campaign saying, thanks, but no thanks, romney campaign. i think we'll stay in. you know what's interesting as well though is an independent group that is backing santorum yesterday urged gingrich to drop out of the race. but rick santorum himself says, no, i'm not going to do that. take a listen. >> i don't want him to get out. if he wants to get out, i'm all for him getting out. i'm all for -- i'm for everybody getting out. i wish president obama would just hand me the thing, but that's not going to happen. so the idea is let folks decide, you know, what they think is best, what's best for getting a conservative, someone that's going to put this country on the right track, elected to pres

washington gop chairman told me, is that he predicts that this race will come down between ron paul and mitt romney. now, why? why is the chairman handicapping the race essentially? he said that rick santorum and newt gingrich don't have the infrastructure here. that's really interesting, because all four of the candidates in recent days have all campaigned here for the 40 delegates at stake in washington. i want to show you what's going on. you've got a lot of caucus goers gathering already. bob brown, the man in charge of this particular caucus site, one of 450 caucus sites across washington today, he tells me that potentially between 500 and 600 people might actually be showing up here. we did a little hand count on our own. we're estimating maybe just over 100 but, again, the day is still young, fred. >> oh, my goodness. and then, you know, right around the corner is super tuesday. ten states and lots of delegates up for grabs there. that really is the place where many of the candidates are concentrating their efforts. >> reporter: absolutely. this is almost like the coronation to the ball on t
